Isn’t this ed cartoon the best?
Freeland probably wouldn’t get the idea that it’s referring to milk cartels, seeing as Liberals are accustomed to milking the system.
She’d be used to sitting on milking stools.
Back in 1988 or 1989, I wrote a study for the Mackenzie Institute, a conservative think tank. At the time, the federal government formed an inter-departmental crisis team to deal with the controversy, having to do with low-flying jet fighters up in Labrador. I interviewed a number of people at their offices in Ottawa, all of whom were generous with their time. Finally, I was led in to have a few words with the senior bureaucrat in charge of the crisis team. So I go in to this palatial office, where he says “have a seat” on a couch in front of his huge desk. So I sit on the couch, but then sink way,way down. I am reasonably big, about 6’1″ and 185 pounds, but I was looking way up to him. Hilarious!
Does anyone see a pattern in Shiny’s negotiating tactics? Wait, stall and holiday until a full-blown crisis has arrived and then mount his unicorn, ride in and sign any amount of taxpayer livelihood away while the fawning media reports how he saved the day. Eg. See Liberal shill predicting a NAFTA deal here: https://twitter.com/LMartinWashDC/status/1034980432440373248. When you know the media will applaud whatever you do you can do anything.
Trans Mountain and NAFTA, if he goes down on both knees in front of the Donald, are both unfolding this way.
on whether Canada could be added to the “United States-Mexico Trade Agreement”…
Trump has no intention of adding anyone on…he’s made it clear there will two separate deals..
..why can’t these morons just report what he says
The nut-cutting begins…
And we have a bunch of virtue-signalling neophytes who will be pressured on all sides to levels far beyond anything they have ever seen.
(Compare this to the team Mulroney had negotiating the FTA)
That stool is just right for her dumpy little legs.

“Kelly McParland: I wonder how the Liberals will blame the NAFTA mess on Harper
Only Canada could turn a dispute over chickens and cheese into a national crisis.
What’s most bizarre is that, should Trudeau somehow gather the courage to concede to U.S. demands for change to managed trade, he would be doing Canadians a favour”

Listening to her Press Conference solidifies that fact that she is an odious, nasty piece of business. And her rambling descriptions of the “negotiation” (read: beatdown) in ridiculously meaningless politispeak was like watching her go to town with a dildo on herself.
There. Is that nasty-enough. Talk about your “Peter principle” … she reached hers, the day she was appointed
Kenji, she reached that pinnacle a long time ago. The way the media grovels over her every word is astounding, the graft must be very rewarding to treat her the way they do. She has fumbled this file horribly, as has Boy Blunder, but one would never know from our mediots.
Despite PM Twinkletoe’s pronouncements, they have to make a deal, and they will spin into knots about how good the deal is, no matter how much they had to back off.
And it will be Trumps fault, of course.
Nope it’s f blumpf 24/7 and thank god Trudeau is sticking it to blumpf. Absolutely zero concept of what is actually happening and what the consequences are.
your grasp of reality is somewhat tenuous.
If she was really an odious, nasty piece of business, she might be good at her job. Nut she’s not.
“…like watching her go to town with a dildo on herself. ”
Why do you always have to bring turdo into the picture?

>>> !!! “Trudeau government removes ‘climate change’ from name of cabinet committee on the environment”
“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has removed “climate change” from the name of a powerful committee of ministers but says the government is no less committed to the issue.”
“The renaming of the Environment, Climate Change and Energy cabinet committee to Environment and Clean Growth reflects the government’s commitment to addressing climate change through growing the economy, Trudeau’s office said.
It also noted the committee’s mandate remains the same and still includes the consideration of climate change, and the federal environment minister still counts herself a member.”
https://www.nationalobserver.com/2018/08/28/news/trudeau-government-removes-climate-change-name-cabinet-committee-environment
Removing the name “Climate Change” is just smoke & mirrors what they do will remain just as economy destroying but unfortunately a lot of voters are just to stupid to realize this.
They also got rid of the word “diversity” in another committee. Maybe they plan to do to Scheercuck what McGuinty did to Tory in the 2007 Ontario election: outflank him on the right.
Scheer and his feminist henchwomen have moved the CPC so far to the left that the Liberals could actually pull it off. I’m thinking that rather than Joe Clark, a more apt comparison to Scheer would be Kim “2 seats” Campbell.
#MadMax2019
Major Canadian Initiative Alert. Canadian Government department changes letter heading.
It’s all about optics.
There was a meme created for Joe Clark after his luggage got misplaced where the editorial cartoons would use a graphic presentation of him wearing idiot mittens so they wouldn’t get lost. I would say the appropriate presentation of team Sockmonkey is a group of daycare children being lead down the street teathered together so Mr Butts doesn’t lose one of them.
….my sister lives in Canada, she says that a lot of Canadians are angry with Trudeau.
He has humiliated all Canadians and they are ready for payback in 2019 elections.
Is this correct?
Likely, … no.
Kevin is right, likely no. At the very least, the Conservative Party of Canada split last week with Maxime Bernier walking out before the convention. And there’s no help on the far left either. Jagmeet Singh is the most hapless leader the NDP has ever had in its history. This simply encourages the Liberals to stay as left as they can to keep vacuuming up soft NDP voters.
I hope so. I love the story anyway. Some Canadians have woken up, but I am not sure how many.
LindaL, sCheers just does not hate Trump enough. The TDS in kanada is pathetic. A few have unfriended me over my support for Trump. Even when you point out how stupid and inept the Turd is, they will not change on Trump, and the same goes for their animosity towards Harper for being a “bully”. These fools will not change. I am like many in here, the Turd could win 2019
They will with Andy 2%
That may be, but it would be looney left voters upset with Boy Blunder, cuz he didn’t ban all pipelines and outlaw oil, gas and Tarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsands. They will split the vote on the left, going Watermelon, or Commie.
They won’t vote CPC, these people are stunned wonders, they believe that government is the solution to everything.
Well only the sane ones. The ones in the GTA are still daft!!
Nope. As bad as CNN and other far leftist MSM outlets are in the USA you haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen the corrupt corporate Media of Trudopia and the power they wield over a divided politically unsophisticated public … They’ve been brainwashing people for decades… think mono cultural obedience… very dim and unserious, thus the election of a part time drama teacher as proof. The Media will campaign for the Tardo, literally taking out third party status as they’ve done in the past and then demand everyone vote for the Turd Groper while simultaneously attacking and holding to a different standard any and all opposition to the cult of Turd. The obedient conditioned masses will comply with their rulers. Trudopians, unlike Americans are not sufficiently bright or sophisticated enough to see through the Media’s fog of deceit, if the Media said it, it must be true. Americans reject and fight back against the imposition of Globalism, Trudopians on the other hand embrace cultural suicide and blindly follow the dictates of “Post National State” rule … like a cult not a country… Anyhoo, the answer to your question is, no. Expect the re-election of the Frizbee coach because, name, hair, socks, “Trump bad”.
I am afraid I have to agree with you. The Canadian corporate media oligarchy have corrupted the brain dead Canadian to vote Liberal forever. It does not bode well for this country.
No. The idiots here will continue to vote for him. It is the socks you see. Canadian voter are impressed by Turdeau’s socks.
Having lived in SA, UK, NZ and Oz I can tell you that none of these places – appalling as their politics are – come close to the gullible naïveté of most Canucks.
The best part of The Fop ran down his mother’s leg. We are stuck with the rest. A low IQ trust fund baby that no rational person can support.
Believe me they’ll vote for the Fop again even if he destroys the economy.
He has humiliated all Canadians and they are ready for payback in 2019 elections.
Ha! All he has to do is march in another pride parade or do another himbo pose and he’ll be returned to office with majority. His policies, his actions mean nothing, but his image is everything.
And, since Andrew Scheep is so desperate to copy Prince Potatokind, will we be seeing him doing tough-guy photo shots like Day did with that Sea-Doo?
Your sister is a rare breed. Most Canadians are f drumpf retards.
Yet there she was, in close contact with Mr. Trump and his people nearly every day. She and her ministers and officials worked incredibly hard, she said.
In fact she said a lot about the hard work, longs days and nights, and her very own self having to report back to Mr. Lighthizer at 5pm.
This is our betters working tirelessly just for all of us.
@FrankQ – nice catch (milking stools)
Power thighs will only take you so far in Ottawa.
Really marc? More like Bubble Butt
I only saw the front/side of the purple dress. I couldn’t stick around for a complete assessment. I just couldn’t.
Come on folks you are missing all the real issue that will effect Canadians. The Customs issues are not going to make much difference because Canada charges TAXES on all goods imported & limits my Jackie D /.. If you want free trade individuals must get the same breaks as retail business….Cars & Trucks bought in the USA should import free of all Provincial TAXES….Booze too….FREE TRADE FOR EVERYONE
According to CBC Freeland is dealing with those very issues as we speak….It is best she drop those things such that Canadian consumers are the winners…The meaningful stuff will make or break the Turd…..
Speaking of Kushner, who lives at 666 5th Avenue, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. His father spent some time in jail. I wouldn’t want to deal with him either. Make him wait…

Kushner Cos. Fined For Falsifying Construction Permits
Kushner Cos. has been hit with $210,000 in fines by New York City regulators for filing false real estate paperwork over several years.
President Trump’s son-in-law — and current adviser — Jared Kushner was still at the helm of the real estate company as CEO when, the New York City Department of Buildings says, the company routinely falsified construction applications at 17 sites.
————————————-
If Canada drags this out past the end of the month the whole Mex/US deal will fall apart because the new Mex pres is rabidly socialist. US law requires a 90 day waiting period for any trade deal.
strad, $210,00 fine, soo, they didn’t any thing wrong, and you are a construction illiterate. Posting shit like that to try and give him a bad rep. So FO!!!!
strad: Repeating NPR’s FAKE NEWS…really makes you smart!!!
Do you mean 666 Park Ave.”? And which character would Kushner be? Trump already has the role of the Devil [Gavin Doran (Terry O’Quinn)] and I suppose Melania is his wife Olivia (Vanessa Williams).
Please make this a fun thread.
That is called a shake-down. Democrat-run metropolises such as NY, Chicago and Detroit require that a company not only pay the required fees for construction…but also “other” fees (let’s call them “fines”) in order to grease the skids and pay off high-ranking municipal bureaucrats and union bosses.
I am really impressed that the U.S. managed to make a deal with Mexico, a country with whom we have almost nothing in common with before Canada, which is as close an ally and relative as we can positively have. Turdeau is a fool.
Ha! Regarding Kushner’s prompt entrance … what do they say? … “Showing up is 90% of the job”
Also … re: Jared Kushner. I stand by my prediction that HE will become personally responsible for a HISTORIC breakthrough in ME Peace. I sense there is much more to this guy than just being a good looking young 1%’er, in a nice suit. I suspect he (and his father in law) watched the serial incompetence of the “least and the dullest” attempting to lead our country for years, and strategized their plan of attack … if they ever had the chance to lead our country. There appears to be no wasted motion (or wasted words) with these two. I would like to know just how much time Jared and PDJT spend together via phone, or in-person. I suspect they are VERY close to one-another and bounce ideas and information off each other in constant brainstorming sessions.
I recall that when BillyBob intern-diddling Clinton was elected … we were told that the American people were getting a two-fer. That we were getting TWO “brilliant” people as President … BillyBob pedophiler AND HER. That two-fer didn’t end so well. But now, I believe MY President has an incredibly smart, skillful, and persuasive wing man who is instrumental in implementing MY President’s FABULOUS policies. If you heard the Mexican President’s speaker phone call with Trump … you heard Nieto heap praise on Kushner for his skills in crafting the revision (replacement of) to NAFTA. Kushner has emerged as THE essential member of Trump’s Cabinet. Winning!
re: Jared Kushner. I stand by my prediction that HE will become personally responsible for a HISTORIC breakthrough in ME Peace.
Dan 11:14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

Face it…. Freeland is acting like a beaten dog.
Her every utterance confirms she was in WAY over her head… SHE is praying for a medical way out.
“SHE is praying for a medical way out.”

“”Liberals’ handling of NAFTA negotiations wins praise from some trade experts””
Sheer is finally getting some media coverage.
“Canadians will pay for Justin Trudeau’s weakness and failure on NAFTA,” the Opposition leader tweeted.
“With the U.S. and Mexico coming to a trade agreement without Canada, Canadians are now on the outside.”
Then the whole article goes on to prove Sheer wrong, leaving him standing there looking like the fool.
Has Sheer caught on yet that he can’t win any election with Pravada.Ca cutting him down every chance they get?
Typical CBC story light on fact but lots of subjectivity & polemics based on of cherry picked “expert” quotes.
Whole article ignores why US imposed steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada in the first place. Turdo & Co. then used the tariffs to start the PR war against Trump. Ask Canadians and they say ….”Trump did what he did cuz of the war of 1812 and he got the history wrong. ” It was the PMO that raised the volume and anti-Trump tone during the trade talks. The PMO believed that they could outmaneuver Trump and politically wound him and cost the GOP to loose in the mid-terms.
The CPC has been ineffective in challenging the Turdo Co. BS narrative. But them both parties are owned by the globalists and want Trump gone.
Here’s globalist Freeland’s speech at her Diplomat of the Year Award after comparing Trump to Hitler in a New York Times feature article June 9 DURING THE G7 SUMMIT. Her cuck other half works for NY Times.
https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2018/06/address-by-minister-freeland-when-receiving-foreign-policys-diplomat-of-the-year-award.html
Her story: The globalist sent all the jobs to China believing China would end its totalitarian ways. They mean well.
Trump on the other hand, is a totalitarian who must be stood up to cuz he opposes all the works of the globalists AND………“within the club of wealthy Western democracies, we’re seeing homegrown anti-democratic movements on the rise … neo-Nazis, white supremacists, “incels,” nativists or radical anti-globalists… such movements seek to undermine democracy from within.”
She makes no mention of the violent alt-left SJWs and Antifa. Why? Cause they are the PMOs brown shirts. They are organized. They are financed. Any dissenting voices get labeled neo-Nazis, white supremacists, or RADICAL anti-globalists by MSM.ca. That’s the green light for SA troops to bash heads open to silence dissent. Give her credit. Freeland does know about NAZIs and tactics.
The Canadian section of NAFTA has been renamed to HAFTA by a wit on the CTH.
Kushner, please.
Imagine that Clinton had won. And, Marc Mezvinsky, husband of Chelsea, had a huge role at the WH. We would all, rightly, be pissed off about it.
Freeland? Freeland? Freeland? Freeland?
